Would highly recommend, been a few times for brunch and never disappointed! Only recommendation if going in winter is to bring layers as it does get cold in the restaurant!

2nd visit here. Another great review. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Liam who recognised me from my first visit, great customer service. Great food again and lovely place to go! Service was outstanding but again from Liam so much so I asked his name instead of calling him the short one this time 😂

The food was original and delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The surroundings are quite spartan and the music was a little too loud. However the food was the star and I would recommend a visit.

The Scottish Skillet was absolutely phenomenal, 3 of us had it. Canadian breakfast for another friend and she said it was delightful. Staff were all so nice and the guy who mainly served us was a good lad who knew how to have a good banter with us and was great at looking after us. Young, mousy blonde hair and a little shorter than the others. Sorry, just like to give recognition and never caught his name.
